Today is our first ultrasound. If all goes well we should find out if we have one, two, three, four (or more!) babies on the go!
We debated whether or not to put in two embryos. I was concerned for K's health (she has injured her back in the past) any the babies' health and, between you and me, am a little scared of two babies (let alone two babies all at once!). We went with two to increase our odds of getting pregnant, especially given the journey (emotional and physical) that this has been. Note: a recent study suggests that our logic on that isn't entirely sound.

And today we find out if we have a singleton or if the embryos decided to really shake things up and divide on their own to give us quads! We were told during the transfer that if we hadn't transferred within 4 hours of embryo thaw, they might start dividing (lovely little tidbit, that one!)! K's hCG levels were not too high (951 and then 2831 two days later) and she hasn't yet been too sick (both high hCG and lots of sickness could be indicative of twins) but you never know!
We will know in an hour and a half!!

I've a garden, a garden of dreams,
Where the cool breeze whispering sways
Softly the apple-sprays
